I do agree that in general they did way too little to address workflow, bugs and UI, Which had very strong support among most users.

Rusty, you and I have never agreed on this and that's fine, but it's all about opinion and workflow. As I've said before I just want simplicity, speed and few clicks as possible.

Without firing it up and reminding myself, just a few things off the top of my head:

1: It's non-jailed. So what? Unless you use two monitors you need to close it to get it out of the way as it's set to always on top.
2: Many items that were a simple click on the old picker are now nested behind yet more menus or settings buttons.
3: Type into the search without looking and find it didn't take what you typed as it tries to refresh with each keypress.
4: Trialing a realtrack writes it to the song instead of demoing it, forcing you to either revert or undo every try to get back to where you were if you don't like the result.
5: More non-intuitive and far more fiddly than the old picker. This has never been PG's strong-suit but it's worse than ever.

There's more than that but that's all I can remember at the moment.

The bottom line is, for me and my workflow (which is all about getting the job done quickly and easily), I can do what I want a lot faster in the normal pickers. Even quicker in the older pickers 2023 etc - and they were bad enough.
